Cement enterprises in some areas of Jiangsu with weak demand stopped falling by rising.

According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, since October 22, some major manufacturers in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nantong and other places in Jiangsu have notified to raise the price of high-standard cement by 20 yuan/ton. According to the actual investigation of

China Cement Network, the main driving force of this round of price increase lies in the rise of coal price and the increase of cement production cost, while the cement price has dropped to a lower level, and the cement enterprises have a strong willingness to promote the price recovery. A cement enterprise

in Jiangsu disclosed to China Cement Network that the current price of coal entering the factory has been more than 1000 yuan/ton.

However, in the case of weak demand for cement, the rise in coal prices superimposed on the "golden nine silver ten" traditional construction season did not bring more room for cement prices to rise.

"Even if the price rises, there is still no market and it is difficult to get in place." A local industry insider in Jiangsu told China Cement Network, "Although the price of cement in Suzhou has risen by 20 yuan per ton, the price of cement in Suzhou has basically not moved."

Another cement company said that even if the 20 yuan increase can not be fully landed, at least it can play a role in stopping the fall.

In addition, it is reported that the price of cement in Shanghai has been pushed up by 20 yuan/ton since October 24th. A cement company in Jiangsu said that if this round of price increases in Shanghai can be landed, the possibility of pushing up cement prices in Jiangsu will also increase.

With the decline of cement demand and the arrival of the peak of production capacity, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and a cyclical industry shuffle is inevitable. Relying on digital and intelligent technology means, realizing technology and management upgrading, continuously reducing energy consumption, pollutant emissions and carbon emissions, and enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises are the key for cement enterprises to meet the challenges.

To this end, China Cement Network will hold the Fifth China Cement Intelligence Summit Forum in Hangzhou on November 29, 2023, with the theme of "Data-Driven Decision-Making Intelligence Leads the Future", inviting industry experts, scholars and representatives of relevant enterprises. To jointly explore and promote the intelligent process of the cement industry.
